Trends in Plus-Size Women's Fashion


It isn't always easy knowing what to wear when you are a woman who actually has some curves. You certainly can't peruse the advertisements in Vogue or Elle magazines, where the only curves the female models show are of clavicle bones piercing through their thin, malnourished skin.

There are, however, lots of alternatives for larger women who are looking to dress in comfort and style.

This fall, try wrap-around sweaters, tops, and dresses. Wrap-arounds allow you to hide any "sensitive spots", and also gives your body some room when you move around.

Speaking of sweaters, try to avoid the bulky, thick-knit sweaters. These always seem at first that they will be flattering on the full-figured frame, but they often have the opposite effect you are looking for.

The experts on plus-size women's fashion will tell you to accessorize big. Big necklaces are in for women of all body styles but look especially flattering on those who are larger in the chest region.

Luckily, large purses and sunglasses have been the craze for the past year or two. These are practically a blessing for the larger women in the world, who just look better with big sunglasses and full-size handbags.
